Another new question, sound steam locomotives

https://www.grzyboskitrains.co...o-4-6-2-pacific-tmcc

Frankly, unless you stick to the very bottom prices ranges in Lionel or MTH it will be hard to not get a steam loco that has at least the basic steam chuffing sounds.  Most of their products do (Williams by Bachman does not).  

Most modern mid- and upper-price range steam locos have very good, complex chuffing sounds and they vary the sound when accelerating, etc.  The premium models (Legacy, Premier, Imperial) usually have the smoke puffs coordinated with the chuffing) but even stuff like Lionelchief plus has pretty good basic steam sounds now.  

thank you very much man

Lee,

The premium models (Legacy, Premier, Imperial) usually have the smoke puffs coordinated with the chuffing)

Every MTH PS2 or PS3 steam engine, even the lowest-priced RK Rugged Rails steamers, have chuffing coordinated with smoke puffs.

Further, under DCS, all of these steamers have the ability to change their chuff rate, and coordinated smoke puffs, as well.

Barry, I've also noticed that when you "gun" the throttle on my PS3s, they have a really neat deep labor sound for a few seconds... like a low thud.  I kinda like that!  

after my OP, I posted a link to grzyboski, would that engine have it

it looks pretty bad@ss

If I wanted to retro older engines, what is the best way to go to get chuff, crew talk, etc.?

In small type below the video "box" is "jdslimited." That means this locomotive was upgraded by Jeffrey D. Steinbacher of J.D.S.Limited Productions. Email him at jeffrey@jdslimitedproductions.com. Ask him if he has any upgraded locomotives in stock. He could also look for an older locomotive that you like and upgrade it.

It depends on what locomotive it is.  I've done upgrades from simple sound upgrades to installing full command, fan driven smoke, lighting enhancements, etc.  Virtually any locomotive can be upgraded for sound and command if desired.
